Jeff,

If you need someone to talk to about the AWD conversion, try contacting the owner of www.metalmanfab.com he did an AWD conversion to a spyder that now has approx 500HP. You have probably seen the white spyder in a video or two on the web. He is from Phoenix, this guy did the work, and he's a pretty cool guy, maybe he can give you some pointers. I remember they had some problems along the way too, so maybe he can clue you in on a few of those.
